I think it is more likely that the CIA station chief was adamantly opposed to the swap of terrorists for a deserter, and threatened to expose or scuttle it.
The "slip" was simply a way to remove him from the scene of the crime. .
Thanks for the ping.
Bingo! Mr. RR suggested this a couple of days ago.
“The “slip” was simply a way to remove him from the scene of the crime.”
Yes.
Here’s a possibility for the only way for the regime to stop all questions, investigations, the Pentagon findings, Congressional hearings, etc.:
“Bergdahl was performing a dangerous job, serving his country with honor and distinction. He was a deep-undercover who played the deserter/traitor role for five years. He obtained and transmitted sensitive information about the whereabouts of Taliban and al-Qaeda leaderships for drone targeting and played a crucial role in finding bin Laden.
Bergdahl’s files are sealed by a presidential finding and he and his family will be unavailable.” (Witness protection with new identities or some such.)
The lapdog media would love it and demand a medal for Birdbrain.
I certainly wouldn’t put it past them to do something like this, even with a young man that couldn’t have possibly been trained past toilet training.
We’ll await the regime’s next lie that’s surly coming.
Makes perfect sense.
